Valencia Part 2 NXP Event Recap

Hey everyone!

Earlier today was the NXP event that I hosted with Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem to celebrate the release of Valencia Part 2!  I was surprised about how many people came to this event. It was really nice to meet everyone!

Hanging out before the event started

The event started with us meeting up in Avery's Court.  Then we ported to the Calabria Skyway in Valencia to farm Martin Chambers.  I was actually surprised a how easy this ship boss is to fight.  He seems a lot easier than the Aquila ships, but the good thing is that he respawns really quickly! People were gaining lots of nautical levels and I got a ton of gold and some awesome ship equipment!

That's a lot of ships!

He didn't stand a chance!

So much fun!

After about an hour we all ported to my Haunted Grotto and had a five part scavenger hunt.  Edward gifted all the winners, which was really nice of him (and nice of Kingsisle for supplying the crowns)!  The last part of the event was just hanging out and pvping a little.  I think a group went into my Smuggler's Arena as well.   I didn't get to PVP but I had fun watching.

Group picture!

PVP!

Thanks to everyone who showed up to the event.  I really love having NXP parties! If you missed the one today, hopefully I will be having another soon, so be sure to watch for it. See you soon! :)

Pirate101 Scavenger Hunt Contest/Event

Hey everyone!

A couple weeks back, Kingsisle gave me some crowns to give away to all you guys! I gave some away via trivia on my twitter account and now that I have my computer back, I am ready to give away the rest!

I have decided to combine this contest with an event and have a scavenger hunt.  What will you be finding during this scavenger hunt?  Well........There will be 5 of me (Autumn Walker) hidden throughout Skull Island and you will have to find all five!  Here's how it will work:

This is an example image and will NOT be a part of the official
scavenger hunt.

At 5:00pm EST on Sunday, May 22nd, I will be posting 5 screenshots, similar to the one above.  Your job is to figure out where each Autumn is and find her! Here's the twist though; each Autumn will be in a different realm related to where she is hiding.  Tricky, right?

Anyway, to enter the contest, here is what you need to do:

1. Have access to the whole world of Skull Island, either via membership or crowns.
2. Find all 5 locations and realms.  You can find them in any order you want.  Once you find an Autumn, take a screenshot with her.  Please be sure your pirate name and mine are both visible in the screenshots!
3. Email all five of your screenshots to secretsofthespiral@hotmail.com with the subject Scavenger Hunt.
4. Please include your pirate's name in the email. Please DO NOT include any personal information.

The first, second, and third people to find all five and send me an email following the rules above will win the following:

First Prize - 15,000 crowns

Second Prize - 10,000 crowns

Third Prize - 5,000 crowns

I will announce the winners on this post and on my twitter as I receive their emails.  I hope everyone has a lot of fun with this event!  Good luck and see you in a few days! :)

Scavenger Hunt Screenshots

There have been 3 winners as follows:
First Prize - Noble Jared Templeton
Second Prize - Connor Templeton
Third Prize - Golden Billy Nightingale
Congrats guys and thanks to everyone who participated! :)

Here are the screenshots for the Scavenger Hunt.  Remember that you need to find all 5, and that they are all in different realms.  Good luck!

Valencia Part 2 Confirmed with Teaser Images!

Hey Everyone!

I am back! For those of you who didn't know, I wasn't able to play the games or blog because my computer broke.  I finally got the part in the mail yesterday (it had to come all the way from China, which is why it took so long) and now I have my Precious......I mean computer......back! :)

Anyway, while I was spending time offline, lots of exciting things happened! Kingsisle finally announced Book 15 in Pirate101!  We will be going back to Valencia!  I am so excited about this!  You can see the official announcement on the KI Live video here: Valencia Part 2 Announced!  I have set the link to jump to the actual announcement!

Since that was announced, there have been many more teasers released.  The community managers sent each fan site an exclusive teaser image to release to everyone.  I was able to post mine on twitter, but in case you missed it, here it is!

Lots of people speculated on Twitter that this is a farmable tower in Valencia.  I have to agree that it does look like that.  How awesome would that be?  Frostcaller made a post with links to all the other fan sites' teaser images, which you can view here.

Along with those images, there were quite a few more hints in the May 2015 Producer's Letter.  Book 15 will be 2 chapters with 5 new levels!  They also tweeted that the new skyway is called Calabria Skyway, seen below!  

And last, but certainly not least, Kingsisle has announced a special promotion for members.  Everyone who has an active membership on May 31st will receive a Valencian Steed Mount during the first week of June!  You will also be eligible if you make a crowns purchase between May 1st and May 31st!  You can see the full details here: Valencian Steed Mount Promotion.

I am so excited about this new update! It has been a long time coming, but I never gave up hope that we would see this day.  Hopefully test realm will open tomorrow or Friday, but we'll see.  Whenever it opens, I know I will be spending lots of time on there, so be prepared for lots of posts with lots of pictures of the new content!

What are your thoughts about the Valencia Part 2 teasers that have been released?  What are you most excite to see in game?  Let me know in the comments below!  And I will be back to posting regularly now, so be sure to watch for my new posts!  Have fun and see ya soon! (Hopefully in test realm) :P
